If a deflated football gave Tom Brady an advantage, then how does one explain the Indianapolis Colts / New England Patriots game several seasons ago?

In the first half of that game when the Patriots were supposed playing with an under-inflated football, the Patriots sucked.

They came alive and scored a number of touchdowns in the second half when the refs replaced the supposedly under-inflated ball with a fully inflated one.

Not a science project at all. Would have gotten an f from my science teachers.

Each of them threw footballs of varying inflation, and he measured the distance of each one and calculated the average. He found that the least inflated football traveled the farthest, therefore giving Brady a competitive advantage.

If the opposing team took possession of the ball they would have the same advantage.

It would only be a guaranteed advantage if you never lost possession of the ball.

Why? It starts with multiple undemonstrated assumptions under unlike conditions. Nothing in that identifies whether any of the methodologies are appropriate, nor its predicates correct.

By the way - unless the NFL did some funky stuff, Mahomes played the 2018 AFCCG with deflated footballs - considerably more deflated than the 2014 AFCCG.

The kid didn’t prove anything with regards to Brady, but Yahoo proves once again that it sucks.

Did he go on to consider that both QBs were using the same footballs with the same amount of inflation, thereby giving both of them the same edge?

Be real, this is a totally UNscientific b.s. project. Doesn’t reveal anything except an ignorant 10 yr old and gullible/ignorant adults.

Since Deflategate, Brady’s completion % is 66.5 vs. 64% for his career. That, FRiend, is settled science!

What’s always puzzled me about this is, if a QB can throw a football better with a little less air pressure, why not let all teams’ QBs use a ball inflated to grip and throw best for them?

Are the the NFL rules intended to make the QBs less effective and efficient?

Q. If you could share a message with Tom Brady what would you say to him?

A. Gimme some of your money, you don’t deserve it.

Yes, this kid is a budding Democrat for sure!

On his poster, he included the results of experiments he did with his mom and sister.

Gee, what a surprise. Dad wasn’t around to help.

Why should they?

Everyone ignored an MIT professor, and a student at Worcester tech when they demonstrated how temperature affects ball inflation.

Roger Goodell ignored deflated balls in a Steelers game the following year.

The Raiders were accused of using helium inflated footballs for Ray Guy when he was punting against the Oilers. Bum Phillips said, “hell, Guy could kick it 60 yards if it was filled with water”

Not surprised he won. Emotional, agenda driven science seems to rule today. Next year he will scientifically prove that Hillary was robbed, Elizabeth Warren is a squaw and MAGA hats are racist.

Whether or not Brady cheated I do not know. What I DO know is that he is not the supposed greatest of all time.

He is a system quarterback. Without the system he would be average or maybe a journeyman.
